Venky's to blame for club's turmoil, say Rovers fans (From Lancashire Telegraph)

At BRFC, more than 100 employees have now been sacked, unfairly dismissed, with claims of constructive dismissal and hugh amounts of cash will be paid out through tribunals beginning today. Forget the football lads, this is what Venkys have done over the last two years. Once the courts hammer them hard for compensation, BRFC will owe millions and the door will soon close

hope it's administration next prolong the agony lol

Nonsense, the people have put bucket loads full of their own cash into this club and have been met with nothing but selfishness and ungratefulness by the most fickle "fans" in football.

It's amazing that they have stayed the length of time they have considering the hostility they have endured, including being physically assaulted with snowballs. It won't come as any surprise if they sell up to the lowest bidder and leave the placed totally riddled with unmanageable debt. You'll be wishing you'd have got behind them then.

Exactly the door will close and there will be no BRFC!!

Rather have Venks and hope they appoint a decent Chairman/Manager than lose Venky's and go into administration!!

Nobody else will bank roll it like they have...and as for blaming someone look at Anderson/Shaw and Shebby all of who picked the managers and all who convinced Venks to sign the wrong people.

We need to get the boardroom right, then they will appoint a decent manager and maybe, just maybe, we can move forward.

OR the other alternative push Venks out and go into administration....I know what i perfer!

Venkys appoint the board, we had the best board of dircetors in the world, they pushed them out and employed second rate directors, its nothing to do with the fans, they would have done that at Man U.
they dont understand the game and they are soley to blame

What are you doing out the kitchen.

Venkys are keeping the club alive without their money there would be no Rovers. yet all folk can do is abuse them.

Only 9000 rovers fans turn up for an FA cup semi.

The Walker family dropped the club faster than one of Jack's aeroplanes.No one else wants to buy em.

time to back the Venkys!

good point , but one major problem , they have no money and all they are doing is selling the best players to help cash flow, they appointed shebby and co.who have wasted milions and once parachute money has gone, (even with 100% backin from the fans) , we are history

Anderson were running things then and for him to get his own man in (Kean) He needed rid of WIlliams/Finn.

I understand Venks employed anderson and they thought he was trust worthy but it turned out he ruined the club.

I'm not saying Venks are not to blame, but Anderson for me has a lot to answer for!! And I would still rather have Venks than go into administration!

Venkys are majority shareholders for sure; and the other certainty is that they know absolutely nothing about football in England.

( before they bought Rovers they nearly bought Everton....because they play in Blue and White ! )

As such they are ultimately responsible; but the real culprits are those people who have milked their ignolrance and the clubs resources for their own gain.

i.e. Jerome Anderson, Paul Agnew, Derek Shaw and Shebby Singh.

The worrying thing is that Venkys don't seem to learn. Can't imagine they would put up with this in their other lines of business.

Get rid of the parasites.

Arte et Labore.
ps. Is that box that Appleton is carrying full of money?

In over two years Venkys have been advised by people who were incompetent and self serving. They approved the hiring of Shebby, Kean, Berg, Shaw, Agnew, etc. They approved the firing of Williams, Finn, Allardyce, etc. They obviously know nothing about running a football business but still do not have anyone in their employ who are capable of giving them good, reasoned, knowlegable advice on what to do at Ewood.
Being, supposedly, successful businessmen they should know that any successful company division is only as good as it's leadership, but in 2 years we have had no leadership at Ewood, or worse still, very poor leadership. This has been very apparent to everyone associated with football in England, but not to Venkys.
It seems that they have a Bengal Tiger by the tail and are clueless about what to do, and too arrogant to admit it.

Errr, sorry but the average settlement for dismissal is just over 2.5 k so if all your cases are won it would only be 2/3 million max to pay out
Just to put a true measure on it, enough scare stories all ready....

What FA cup semi was that?

I think it's time to start looking to form our own version of FC United.

It's so obvious that there is just a power struggle between Agnew/Shaw and Shebby Singh.

Unfortunately Venky's cannot make their minds up which side of the fence to stand on. Two months ago it ws Shaw and Agnew's. Yesterday it was Singh's.

To be fair to Venky's they have put money into signings for us but they have been seriously, badly advised in the signing of three quarters of these players.
Ths also applies to managers. It's obvious from who we appointed as manager over the past two seasons that they simply not been skilled and/or experienced enough to manage at this level.

You would think by now that surely they know they have been ripped off here, there and everywhere by so called agents, so called managers, back room staff, players etc.
And so hae us fans for having to watch the dire football week in and out.
But the main architect in all of this, is Singh.

Venky's. You need to sell the club so that we, (the paying people) can take it back and start enjoying our beloved team again.
But please please please make sure you sell it to people in the know of the game this time.

I think Venky's have always meant well and been prepared to invest to a limited degree and have tried this season. The problem is that they have been surrounded by people who have given them poor advice from day one. If they had kept and listened to John Williams it might have been a different story. Venky's have allowed this board room split to fester by listening to one person then listening to another person before switching back again. and both men have made serious misjudgements that have cost a lot of money and seem to remain split. The way Appleton was given his notice by a brown envelope by a PA is a disgrace if true and the same about Shebby reported not to have spoken to Appleton if true. Gary Boyer may be a good choice to guide them to safety but not long term due to lack of experience. Venky's did support Appleton but again it was the wrong person. You can see us being relegated next season if not this and the club being left in a lot of dept unless Venky's bank role it and if not we are doomed.

All the Venky supporters on this page......go away back to Dingleland!

Understand what everyone is saying, but this ain't gonna keep our beloved team up if we do not go to the games and BACK THEM.

Yes! In any other professional field of employment, it is expected that folk turn up to work and work to their optimum capacity, however there are always some who don't. They can be performance managed, but football is a different ball game! Hate Fergy at United but you need a extremely strong character to manage a footballers ego. Unfortunately, none at Ewood.

I think the players need to play their socks off to stay up, ownership and management is no excuse!

I am afraid the fans are banging their heads against a brick wall. Nobody is listening to them. For over two years we have been pleading for an experienced manager. Now it is probably too late. No experienced manager in his right mind will come and get us out of the mess we are in.

Why do the Burnley posters spend the majority of their time on BRFC stories?

The obvious answer is because they are thick; but underlying this it's probably because BFC are ultimately very boring.

Turf Moor's capacity is more than 22 000; yet the average attendance is around 14, 000. I know Burnley is a deprived area... but to read the Burnley fans on here you would think they were a well supported club....they are not.

Dyche is doing well to control the wage bills.....essential for the survival of any small club.

It is sad to see a once proud and succcessful club ( 1970's in the first division ) floundering in the middle of the Championship.....but every club finds it's own level.

Long may Burnley's mediocrity last.

Arte et Labore.
ps. Shouldn't BFC ban those racist thugs who follow them?

Yeah cluck off Dingles

Good point ,so why do they employ the disgraced Hendry on a reported 8,000 pounds a week confirmed ,when he has not even got a proper job at Rovers, he came in under the guise of "defensive coach" but in reality was Keans driver .
Other than hang around with Singh all day what is he supposed to be doing for all this money ?
Keans gone so surely Rovers don`t have to keep paying Hendry 8k a week to drive him around now.

His pay off (out of court settement) was 1.2 mil.
Bergs will be in region of 0.5/0.6. Appletons will be in region of 0.9/0.8.
Plus his four staff.

To then get onto Murphy: IF he fails to 'turn up' again that will cost 1 mil+ to get him off books. Same goes fo Etuhu.
And so it goes on.
Venkys have funded this venture upon 1) Prem revenue 2) Sale of only valuable assets 3) Parachute payments.
Prem money has gone. Saleable assets all but exhausted. Parachute payments declining.

Now its time to worry for them (and us)

The writing was on the wall way back in Dec 2011 , no one can be at all surprised this has transpired.

They have been warned many times over. They have been offered credibl knowledgable advice more than once and have elected to ignore.
There is only one culpable villian in all of this, irrespective of naivity.

Don't you just love Burnley?

Decline and near oblivion (1976–1987)
Graph showing Burnley's performance from the first season of the Football League in 1888–89 to 2011–12 when they finished 13th in the Championship.Three non-descript seasons in the Second Division followed before relegation to the Third Division in 1979–80. Of 42 league games, Burnley could not manage a win in either their first or last 16. Two seasons later, now under the management of Brian Miller, they were promoted as champions. However, this return was short-lived, lasting only one year; albeit a year in which the team reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and the semi-final of the League Cup, recording victories over Spurs and Liverpool in the latter, although the 1–0 win over Liverpool in the League Cup semi final second leg was not enough for an appearance in the final as Burnley had lost the first leg 3–0.

Managerial changes continued to be made in an unsuccessful search for success; Miller was replaced by Frank Casper in early 1983, he by John Bond before the 1983–84 season and Bond himself by John Benson a season later.

Benson was in charge when Burnley were relegated to the fourth level of English football for the first time ever at the end of the 1984–85 season. Martin Buchan (briefly) and then Tommy Cavanagh saw the side through the 1985–86 season before Miller returned for the 1986–87 season, the last match of which is known as 'The Orient Game'. For the 1986–87 season, the Football League had decided to introduce automatic relegation and promotion between the Fourth Division and the Conference league, the top tier of non-league football. Although, in retrospect, this has only served to blur the lines between professional and semi-professional leagues in England, at the time it was perceived that teams losing league status might never recover from this. Additionally, Burnley had a new local rival in Colne Dynamoes who were rapidly progressing through the English non-league system at the same time as the former champions of England were in the lowest level of the league. After a disastrous season (which also saw a first round FA Cup 3–0 defeat at non-league Telford), Burnley went into the last match needing a win against Leyton Orient. A 2–1 win, with goals from Neil Grewcock and Ian Britton, was enough to keep Burnley in Division Four, although even that achievement still relied on a loss by Lincoln City in their last game of the season.

Keep up the good work Mr Dyche.

Afternoon Mr French, unfortunately and you should know this by now, there are to many people on here that love to talk absolute c*** and just try and stir trouble. Appleton had to go which is sad but we must get an experienced manager during the summer. June not August ideally so he has a full summer with his squad. Lets wait and see who comes and ignore all the rubbish press reports linking us with every manager that has ever walked. Hopefully Shebby will keep it shut until he has something concrete to say

hi FBAW, yes agree but it dont half rankle that we get almost as much rubbish thrown at us from our own fans as we do from the Dingles...but then it is getting hard to tell who is who on here some of the views are that extreme.

I cant agree with you about us getting an experienced manager in - never mind what the month it is....surely people must see that the owners have proved time and time again that the one (perhaps the only) thing that they are consistent on is in selecting cheap inexperienced people to manage our club. That wont change.

But good luck to Team GB anyway, even if it is surely one step too far for him too...he is being set-up to take a tumble as we tumble out of this god forsaken league where everyone is rubbish apart from maybe two or three teams.

Any half-decent side would get promoted from this league as long as they showed some consistency over the season....that is what makes the season and the rubbish decisions the owners make so stupidly crazy.

Oh and why such a big cardboard box - he was only there for 3 months!!!
.

Don't really see how people can say "yes, good decision to sack him, but Venkys are idiots". If they've sacked him surely thats a positive step that they are actually keeping track of performances. Under SK it seemed like Venkys never saw the performances hence why he never got the sack.

Venkys stick by a manager, it dosent work out, we get relegated, everyone hates him, we complain. Venkys sack a manager who we dont like, we complain.

Obviously barring sacking John Williams & pals, Venkys havent done a whole lot wrong. They've invested more money than the Jack Walker trust ever did & cleared our debt. Had they left the management structure intact and invested to the same proptortion they have done to date we may be hailing them as fantastic owners. At the end of the day we've always said Venkys can raise thier reputation by consulting the fans more and being more open about the way they run the business. All it takes is for them to hire a good manager with good backroom staff, get us back looking like a fighting club and keep the cash flow coming in. Most clubs would dream of owners with this kind of cash. If Venkys do sell up it will destroy Rovers so it's pretty much like it or lump it at the moment.

Today's news from FAIRYTALE NEWS.
We want a big name manager.
NURSE! NURSE!

From top 10 Premiership club to likely relegation in less than 3 years. Hope you're proud Venkys - shameful disgraceful ruination of a proud well run over performing club. And it gets worse.

Football? Its just a get rich quick scheme for incompetents, forget the fans. Don't give em any of your money!

I hope this means the return of rochina,givet,& formica and the retention of dunny and not the return of murphy and etuhu, good luck gary your going to need it

Correct, isn't Kean taking legal action and Berg has the Managers Association involved.

I would suspect that Appleton will take the same route, I would.

Unless there is a subsection in their contracts that states quite clearly that "We can sack you anytime we like and not pay any compensation" then Venky's, as the owners of the Club don't have a leg to stand on.

My concern is that any decent, experienced manager who might be considering the job will take one look at what has happened with Kean, Berg and possibly Appleton and simply walk away.

Two points. I don't see anyone - media or fans - moaning about Nottingham Forest having appointed 3 Managers in the last few months and secondly look where it has got them i.e. in a play off place. Yes Venkys have to find the right guy but some of this hype is totally over the top. I was glad to see the back of Appleton - he shouldn't have been appointed in the first place and yes that's the Venkys fault - but they may just get it right this time. There isn't a viable alternative anyway to their ownership. All this talk of a fans' consortium is woeful. There wouldn't be the finance to run the club week in, week out so you can forget that as an option. Lets get behind Gary Bowyer and see the season through. Staying in this is the priority. If we achieve that - which I believe we will - there will be Managers willing to come to Ewood. Money talks and its not their reputation that's on the line given the last few months. Its a No Lose scenario for them; its the Venkys who will be under increasing scrutiny but memories are short. If success follows - some would say a big "if" - then all will be forgiven. That's just the way people are.

Mr Mida*se.....

You confirm my point precisely.

It's not potted history mate....it's a section from BFC's illustrious history detailed on Wikipedia.....a useful tool to remind us of our clubs' histories...that's all!

Anyhow....what are your views on the current Burnley sqaud's potential?

I think if Dyche can hold on to your star players you should survive in the Championship?

Don't be too upset by BRFC's success over the same period.... it's only a game.

Keep smilling my friend and try to concentrate on your own club please.

The Walker family dropped the club faster than one of Jack's aeroplanes.No one else wants to buy em.

time to back the Venkys!

Just to let you know?? it was not a semi get it right before mouthing off

Errr, sorry but the average settlement for dismissal is just over 2.5 k so if all your cases are won it would only be 2/3 million max to pay out Just to put a true measure on it, enough scare stories all ready....

2,5 k for 3 mangers this season each ??? no way.... kean will be after at least 1 million and APP contract was for 2.5 years so he wont accept 2.5 k , it ll cost 3 million just for the managers we've have this season . the point is it is poor decisions from the top, they appointed and must take responsibility for time after time bad decisions.

Why do we need to pay um off when they did such a crap job at managing . Results make a manager , if results are wrong , job not being done properly so sack should follow . If your a taxi driver and keep going to wrong address for fairs then you get the boot and no payout . Why different with managers?!

There is only one place rovers are going and it ain't up or down, it's out. This club will be wound up within a year or so. Venky's have taken a sound investment and ruined it. It cannot survive under the present owners and unlikely to survive under any new owner unless they have mega money to bail them out. Sad day and let it be a warning to other clubs. We were mostly happy being a mid premier team occasionally punching above our weight. Those days are long gone and all because of the chicken farmers. R.I.P. Rovers

Lets wait and see who comes and ignore all the rubbish press reports linking us with every manager that has ever walked. Hopefully Shebby will keep it shut until he has something concrete to say

hi FBAW, yes agree but it dont half rankle that we get almost as much rubbish thrown at us from our own fans as we do from the Dingles...but then it is getting hard to tell who is who on here some of the views are that extreme.

I cant agree with you about us getting an experienced manager in - never mind what the month it is....surely people must see that the owners have proved time and time again that the one (perhaps the only) thing that they are consistent on is in selecting cheap inexperienced people to manage our club. That wont change.

But good luck to Team GB anyway, even if it is surely one step too far for him too...he is being set-up to take a tumble as we tumble out of this god forsaken league where everyone is rubbish apart from maybe two or three teams.

Any half-decent side would get promoted from this league as long as they showed some consistency over the season....that is what makes the season and the rubbish decisions the owners make so stupidly crazy.

Well back them then, if that's your fun. They have ruined the club. The walker family never bought the club, they inherited it, and they didn't want it, fair do s they sell it, Venks are the problem and they don't care a jot about the football, so the club either goes with a slow death as they use up some handouts and siphon off their expenditure, or they do a runner and it drops with their real debt, which nobody really knows whilst they're in charge.

Don't really see how people can say "yes, good decision to sack him, but Venkys are idiots". If they've sacked him surely thats a positive step that they are actually keeping track of performances. Under SK it seemed like Venkys never saw the performances hence why he never got the sack.

Venkys stick by a manager, it dosent work out, we get relegated, everyone hates him, we complain. Venkys sack a manager who we dont like, we complain.

Obviously barring sacking John Williams & pals, Venkys havent done a whole lot wrong. They've invested more money than the Jack Walker trust ever did & cleared our debt. Had they left the management structure intact and invested to the same proptortion they have done to date we may be hailing them as fantastic owners. At the end of the day we've always said Venkys can raise thier reputation by consulting the fans more and being more open about the way they run the business. All it takes is for them to hire a good manager with good backroom staff, get us back looking like a fighting club and keep the cash flow coming in. Most clubs would dream of owners with this kind of cash. If Venkys do sell up it will destroy Rovers so it's pretty much like it or lump it at the moment.

You are not talking out of your mouth. Venks have been the problem since day 1 and they would never in my book be anything but meddlers.

They have never done what the fans want or expect and that is why most experienced football writers have labelled them the owners from hell.
Certainly not fit and proper for club ownership, the only way is down fast without them or a little slower with league handouts.

BRFC belong at the highest level in English football.....you know that GB1882...that's why people are so upset with what has happened recently!

We'll get there again....don't worry.

Jay Rodriguez seems to be doing well at Southampton.

Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhh

How much money they have put in is irrelavent if you are looking at can they run a football club.

They cant ....
From almost day one it has been obvious to all but a handful of sawdust for brains...

A new manager or coaches or indeed a new board is not going to change the fact that these numpties could not organise two of their sacred cows - 24 about in a field of grass.

May the gods of football look kindly upon us.

well said by the fans.

Dear Dorsetscum, stick to comments about your own bunch of losers you tosser.
The players seem to have got off very lightly this season. They're the ones who pass and don't move, don't know which end we're supposed to be attacking and can't manage a ten yard pass with any accuracy. Someone needs to seriously kick some ****.

Our season has ground to a halt we will probably finish mid table, so we need something to laugh at and at the moment that seems to be you lot.
At least 14,000 in a 22,000 stadium looks good, 8,000 in a 31,000 stadium looks s**t. In reality we are on the same level as yourselves except for one big point, 'WE ARE NOT IN DEBT'.
We are also run by a board of directors who are Burnley fans and not by a bunch of chicken farmers from thousands of miles away who dont know the first thing about football.
I wonder if they are doing all this for the free publicity they are getting as they are certainly not paying for it.Everyone now knows about Venkys where as when they came in no one knew who they were.
Being on here is much more fun than playing with a sister i dont have and trying to count my fingers and thumbs that i do have.
It makes you wonder what they are going to do with the 32million pound parachute payments to come your way over the next 3 years, probably waste it on another 10 managers or build a new chicken farm in Lancashire.
Hope that wasnt too racist for you ?

Snorin he'll, t'dingles are out in force today

Whatever happens, Rovers have had the upper hand for 34years, end of.

Everyone in Lancashire and the rest of the UK know Blackburn have poor supporters that rarely travel. Home games these hangers on will jump at the chance for United or Liverpool at home (even though the away team has over 7000). Blackburn inherited a load of new fans and hangers on 20 years ago under the Jack Walker boom. Last 10 years these tickle fans have disappeared by to their villages. Small club again, just like in the 1980's with Simon Garner. Don't ever tell anyone else you are a major Premiership team. You are a joke. And your fans are awful.

Burnley have an estimate 10% of their population on Turf Moor. Bolton always have solid support home and away. And at the moment Blackpool have better support than Rovers. Don't starting saying otherwise. Everywhere you go you take a small following.

See you at Deepdale next season. That's if you can travel this far.

Seriously no respect for Rovers fans.
You get what you deserve.
Chicken farmers.
Empty stadium.
Relegation.

Bye bye !!

Jack Walker lived in Jersey and he no doubt paid less tax there then he would have had he lived on the mainland.

THIS!

You see, what he's accidentally done is give you lot ideas above your station.

Now you all seem think you DESERVE to have a good side. You don't. You deserve exactly what you've got. A succession of bald headed, clueless managers whose only skill is to tell lies and talk absolute sh*it.

You can't just BUY success long term. You have to earn it. Where do you lot get off thinking you deserve to be in the big League with the PROPER football clubs? You don't. You need to get real.

You're just a **** pot Northern barnacle of a town. And you're a set of MUGS.

It's the descent from glory to the current sh*it pot status that hurts you the most. And don't try to give it the big one about "34 years" because I can tell you're well gutted.

You see - none of this misery would have happened if Jack had paid his tax. In a way, the reason you are suffering today is because of Jack Walker.

But I can see WHY he went to Jersey I suppose. Who'd want to stay anywhere near Blackburn?

Well it's good to know there are some brainless morons reading these posts! You obviously know as much about football as Shaw, Agnew and Singh - absolutely nothing!! Now be a good boy, see the nurse and get your medication.

On a proper note, until the Three Stooges leave, there is no future for OUR club. The owners are beneath contempt too.

R I P My Rovers

I have heard news inside BRFC that John Williams is heading a consortium from Middle East to buy back BRFC from Venkys for about £50 Million.
Venkys are now prepared to sell the club to John Willams and the Consortium cause of falling numbers of fans coupled with relegation threats.
If that is true then come back John Williams and save us from this terrible ordeal.Venkys have been disaster for BRFC never again we want Billionaires from India who only understand Cricket and Yoga.Look at QPR FC another Indian Billionaire owner same story QPR FC bottom in PL league.Indians are shrew businessmen and they are not great Philanthropists.Indi
ans are rich billionaires and millionaires but would keep their large sum of wealth in the bank rather than give some to charity and poor people.Nearly 60% of people in India are rich and middle class but would not help the poor 40% who are poor and destitutes.
When i heard an Indian billionare family were buying BRFC i told my friends it's end of the world for Rovers now .They will ruin this great club and i was right.

Some so called fans do talk some ****

John Williams buying Rovers! If only!

You fans are just delusional thinking that this is the fault of the Venkys.

It's JACK WALKER's fault.

If he had been a good boy and paid his taxes you wouldn't have these ridiculously high expectations. Walker has ruined you and he's made you the rotten filth you are today.

You need to purge yourself of these delusions of grandeur and I know how to do it.

Back in the day they exhumed Oliver Cromwell and then HANGED him. They should do the same with Jack Walker.

For

a) not paying the correct amount of tax

b) probably being a dirty old nonce at the kid's home

c) crimes against football, ie making you lot of deadbeats think you've got a future (you haven't and you are all deadbeats. Live with it)

Only when you see his decaying corpse hanging outside the town hall will you be forced to realise the humiliation that HE inflicted on you


But don't just take MY word for it. I asked 1000 Londoners and I took a poll. They agreed this should go ahead. And remember Londoners' are proper people and their London opinions can be relied upon - not the opinions of a few mugs from a small town in Lancashire

what an absolute plonker you are,,l suggest you do your research on super Rovers,,thats if you can read,,,

I honestly do not know what will happen next and I dont think the Venkys do either which is the really scary bit regards the future of our club.

Surely to goodness now someone somewhere with a few bob must be thinking they can do a better job than the Vs with our club? The prem money on offer for tv rights etc is absolutely staggering and must be attracting interest from many places and many investment groups that surely must be better prepared and to run a professional football cub than our current odious owners....

I blame Anderson for most of our troubles, whoever let that psychopathic bar steward have anything to do with our club wants hanging.

Like them or hate them we need Venky's at the moment. T
he demise has been maily caused by incompetent advisers and the appointment of third rate local management. Re Appleton he hardly set the team alight and was a poor choice from the start, the same with berg. Kean was the main problem and the fact he was in the seat too long! An experienced Championship manager is needed now and a team blended with grafters and skills. No more chancers, learners, or failures from the Premiership as manager.

Small club again, just like in the 1980's with Simon Garner. Don't ever tell anyone else you are a major Premiership team. You are a joke. And your fans are awful.

Burnley have an estimate 10% of their population on Turf Moor. Bolton always have solid support home and away. And at the moment Blackpool have better support than Rovers. Don't starting saying otherwise. Everywhere you go you take a small following.

See you at Deepdale next season. That's if you can travel this far.

Seriously no respect for Rovers fans.
You get what you deserve.
Chicken farmers.
Empty stadium.
Relegation.

Bye bye !!

Thats one of the best on here yet! a knob-ender preaching to us about crowds. Ther are more "customers" in preston prison canteen than you get on your trumpton lego built ground, and please tell when was the last time your little club had any kind of success.We've had plenty over the years, and more people through the turnstyles in 20 yrs than your li-lets have had in 100. Of all the clubs in lancashire you are the one that nobody ever talks about, because most don't even know you exist. Go and put a shine on finneys statue you absolute no mark.

Throw a chicken on your pitch
Get shebby up your nose
Sack your manager
And the Venkys they won't go
Make a laughing stock
For the football world to see
Then look up
And you'll see The Burnley

I dont care who you are, or whether you think I'm right or not.. Venkys are to blame for this situation and deserve all the cr@p they get! Just because we would go into administration if they left doesnt mean that they deserve all the ridicule any less!

Imagine this... If you was to knock down a perfectly good, solid wall and build it back up as cheap as possible without sand & cement, the wall is inevitably going to be unstable. If this wall was to fall and kill someone, throwing money back at it to build it properly will never bring back the life.

Venkys have gone about running our club on the cheap in the hope they would get lucky with a cheap manager and cheap players. It could have happened, would have been amazing if it did, but it didnt. THEY were the ones who stripped our perfectly good board to pieces and replaced them with numpties. So I (with the season ticket I paid for) am going to continue to hate the venkys for what they have done to us.

RTID or until Rovers dies...

Venkys are keeping the club alive without their money there would be no Rovers. yet all folk can do is abuse them.

Only 9000 rovers fans turn up for an FA cup semi.

The Walker family dropped the club faster than one of Jack's aeroplanes.No one else wants to buy em.

time to back the Venkys!

I hate to say it, but this is correct. Venkies are incompetent and badly advised, but they are keeping the club up. If they sell, it is goodbye rovers.

It is a case of your enemies enemy!

Why do the Burnley posters spend the majority of their time on BRFC stories?

The obvious answer is because they are thick; but underlying this it's probably because BFC are ultimately very boring.

Turf Moor's capacity is more than 22 000; yet the average attendance is around 14, 000. I know Burnley is a deprived area... but to read the Burnley fans on here you would think they were a well supported club....they are not.

Dyche is doing well to control the wage bills.....essential for the survival of any small club.

It is sad to see a once proud and succcessful club ( 1970's in the first division ) floundering in the middle of the Championship.....but every club finds it's own level.

Long may Burnley's mediocrity last.

Arte et Labore.
ps. Shouldn't BFC ban those racist thugs who follow them?

14,000 average looks huge alongside under 9000 Rovers for an FAC Q/F and a win away from Wembley ?

But I do agree with you that every club finds its own level. Yours is clearly 3 points below us.

Silly dingle, you will live out your sad life without seeing your team win a trophy, I feel sorry for you.

But he's rather enjoying his life RIGHT NOW isn't he?

Even if Rovers ceased to exist, they would still be remembered as a more successful club than that shower of sh1t down the M65.
Without Rovers no one from outside Lancashire would even give you dingles the time of day!!!!!!!
All the media would go to Bolton, Preston, Blackpool and Accrington, but steer clear of you half breeds.
